The Creators
Short film, 4 min, 2023
A group of creatures are researching and creating a world. It encourages the question why the world is ordered in the way that it is. And that creating something can be terribly hard work, even for the Creators.​

'Short, Sharp, Simple & To The Point. Madeleine Homan nails the perfect SSS&TTP intro when her lead character arrives for work, ready to get down to business in her new film The Creators. There is more to pulling off these no-nonsense, micro-burst moments of essential action than meets the eye. It’s a blink-and-you-miss-it moment of virtuosity comprising a single sound effect, five lines and a sublimely executed piece of minimalist animation. It’s a three second masterclass in the art of character intro which should be taught to all animation students.'
